Self mute option

Question

This is a small QOL change I would like. Instead of push to talk I usually like playing with push to mute. Basically you set your mic to open-mic and then bind a button that will toggle whether you're muted or not. I find it to be a nice medium between push to talk and open mic. I feel it provides more freedom in a team fight but I can mute myself during down time.

Please add a option in options to "toggle mute on self".

Thank you in advance 🙂

@texXxXxXxXxXxX My headphones (Arctis 7P+) has the mute button as well as the PS5 Dualsense controller.

@texXxXxXxXxXxX&nbsp;You can use this in an autoexec: "bind_US_standard "v" "toggle TalkIsStream"This will switch your mic mode from open to push to talk, technically muting you when PTT is enabled and unmuted when on open mic.And well, it'll only work mid-match so it wont work on the menu/lobby screen.

@Cheese9Man I don't want to mute on the device level. I might want to use my device in another application(for example Discord) while muting myself in game but unmute myself for a quick call out then mute again to talk to friends in Discord.

@XHelperZ thank you. This is a bit hacky but could work short term. Also majority of the player base isn't messing with autoexec or even knows what that is.
